Great Lakes Aquatic Invasive Species

Boaters and other recreators will learn about the risks of spreading aquatic invasive species (AIS) at public and private boating access sites across the Great Lakes region this summer. The Great Lakes AIS “Landing Blitz” events will take place over a two-week period, from June 28 – July 7, 2019.

Local volunteers will partner with state and provincial agencies to deliver consistent messaging about preventing the introduction and spread of AIS from the movement of watercraft and equipment between water bodies. Information on these events, including educational materials, locations and volunteer opportunities will be posted on this page as they become available.

The 2019 Great Lakes AIS Landing Blitz is a multi-agency partnership effort.
